Use of X-ray in diagnosis??
Hello everyone, hope you're all doing ok!! Yesterday my GP sent me for a chest X-ray to see whether I have a thymoma. I seem to remember reading a CAT scan/MRI was the way to look for this... Anyone else had an X-ray and was it helpful? Thanks x

Slept with monitor for a couple of nights and now find my self given appointment for chest x ray. Contacted respiritary who

Morning cough which won’t go away!
Some of you may remember I posted several times back in June and July about an acute chest infection. Nasty rattly chest, etc. After 2 rounds of antibiotics and a lot of time (around 6-8 weeks) I got to a stage where I was just coughing up some white phlegm in the morning and then largely fine for the

Hi... I would think you have read many times before what I am about to write, but after being told you have heart failure, a bit of reassurance would help a lot. I have had a dry cough for a few months that started to get worse when I lay in bed. I phoned my health centre to get an appointment for

Anyone else have bronchitis and liver issues post ablation?
Hi all, I haven't been feeling so good since my ablation with shortness of breath and cough, and tiredness, huge water thirst, and some occasional chest pains, so I went to GP who ran some blood tests, and chest X-ray on Tuesday.... With results on Wednesday it seems my liver is in a bad way, and I have

Car fumes - potentially cause of Lung Cancer
Yesterday I received my 2nd dose of Chemo for Lung Cancer. Originally it was diagnosed as “small cell lung cancer” after I’d had a bronchopathy biopsy. It's a mystery that I now have Lung Cancer. I know there is a school of thought that genealogy has a part. But I suspect that it may have been caused

Waiting for tests
Hi all, Originally I went to a&e as my pulse missed a beat quite often. Would beat for 2 or 3 then miss one beat before carrying on. Had all the tests except echocardiogram. When having a chest x-ray the radiologist commented on my wide lungs. I let this pass. All heart tests proved nothing. Got told

Persistent dry cough - clear chest X-ray
Hello everyone I've had a persistent dry cough since the start of July approx. I went to my GP around 20th July and she said my chest was clear. Probably viral. And I'd hurt my self coughing so the pain was musculoskeletal. I took a course of steroids for 4 weeks from then, as feeling like no energy

IBS? Stomach pain and fullness...

, Prilosec and Tums.. to no avail. Went tot he doctor yesterday evening and she said that while she couldn't be certain, she is leaning towards a "back up" in my intestines, and recommended I drink Senna tea for a natural assistant in that area.

Greetings All, Aunties especially. Hoping your day is going better than mine did recently. First, as You Lot know, I'm not usually one to let-off steam here - I always prefer to make people giggle. And, as an honorary Uncle, I guess I should know the answer to this one. But isn't it strange how you

Waiting on results
I guess I confused people with my post, probably because I oust everything lol. The biopsy I got yesterday was on my gum, because I saw a little irritation above a tooth the oral surgeon said it was not an infection and looked more like something irritated it and felt comfortable waiting two weeks to
